Although the rate of surface warming appears to have slowed considerably over the most recent decade, such slowing for a decade or so has been seen in the past in observations and is simulated in climate models, where they are temporary events.

Global mean surface temperatures rose rapidly from the 1970s but have been relatively flat over the most recent 15 years to 2013. This has prompted speculation that human induced global warming is no longer happening, or at least will be much smaller than predicted. Others maintain that this is a temporary pause and that temperatures will again rise at rates seen previously.

Our deficit is about 1.3 trillion. Cutting welfare will reduce the deficit to about 300 billion, just about double the deficit the Republicans handed to the Democrats when the Democrats took control of all the purse strings of government in January, 2007.Plus, it will make those mooching on everyone else actually join the economy. It's a win-win deal. More workers producing equals a bigger economy, and no welfare for the government to pay equals a chance for our government to not collapse.

Cutting welfare is a win-win deal. How can anyone refuse it? It will life anyone willing to work out of what is ludicrously called "poverty" here.

<quoted text>yes, Reagan made sure that ANYONE would get treatment when they walked into a hospital. and who pays for that treatment?thanks a bunch Ron. no wonder my taxes are so damn high!!! never mind the 11 times you raised taxes!! most of my working life i've had to pay so redneck white trash can walk into hospitals and demand a liver transplant!!and hey DB...do you have any idea of how full of shit you are? and that you can walk into any hospital you want and get free treatment and free drugs to fix that problem thanks to Republicans?if i were you, which thank whatever deity you Neanderthals worship i am not, i'd go for the free Prozac.

Right on right on Sonic--I am tired of the poor tax payers paying 800 million a year to patch up all those blacks that shoot each other in Chicago-Cook County Hospital should be closed down now with O'bamacare.

Bookkeeper At Georgia Elementary School Talked Down Shooterhttp://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/b...here's the kicker...the shooter was white.the bookkeeper was black.won't hear about that deal on FOX.'Black person keeps crazy white person from shooting up a school!'nope. never going to make onto FOX.

Oh really (pretty good coverage below)? Ethnicities are almost ALWAYS left out of stories (and that practice should end).

Bravo to her for talking him down, but it would have been preferable had she shot & killed him....

School clerk Antoinette Tuff in an interview on ABC's "World News with Diane Sawyer" said she worked to convince the gunman to put down his weapons and ammunition.

"He told me he was sorry for what he was doing. He was willing to die," Tuff told ABC.

She told him her life story, about how her marriage fell apart after 33 years and the "roller coaster" of opening her own business.

"I told him,`OK, we all have situations in our lives," she said. "It was going to be OK. If I could recover, he could, too."

Then Tuff said she asked the suspect to put his weapons down, empty his pockets and backpack on the floor.

"I told the police he was giving himself up. I just talked him through it," she said.

What year is it? 2013?How about we talk about the issue.You didn't respond to the subject of the post. All you did was regurgitate some programmed indoctrinated bullshit without addressing the content of the post.Here it is again for your convenient reference:

Want health care?You've already got it. No hospital can refuse treatment to anyone who needs it.Or, what you really want is the same health insurance as everyone else paying for it, right?I'll tell you how to get health insurance like everyone in Congress has: get elected to Congress.How to get health insurance everyone who works their whole life has: get a fucking job and show up for work every day on time and do what you're paid to do while you're at work.Problem solved. That wasn't too difficult.What other problem can we solve for you?

Hahahahha!! I'm sure we will all be staggered by the amazing impact that powerful retarded duo will have on gang-bangers in chittown!!

I'm reminded of that "historic Camp David accord" engineered by a peanut farmer from Georgia in the 70's......:-)

Failure to raise the debt ceiling does not mean defaulting on any debt unless Obama chooses to do so instead of reducing spending.

If Rahm Emanual turns over law enforcement in Chicago to the Black Muslims, he will surely get what he deserves.

Fox News Confirms the Firing of a Top Executive Who Was Once Close to Ailes

Fox News confirmed reports on Tuesday that Roger Ailes, the powerful chief executive of the Fox News Channel, had fired one of his longest-serving and closest lieutenants, Brian Lewis, on July 25 for what it called issues relating to financial irregularities, as well as for multiple, material and significant breaches of his employment contract.

<quoted text>Doubt it. Ted Cruz will be sorry he gave up his Canadian citizenship and single payer healthcare.Who do they have? Chris Christie? Has he lost any weight since that surgery? Rand Paul, whose father is attending an anti-Semite conference? Michelle Bachman?The only viable candidate they had was Jon Huntsman and they trashed him right away. Why? Because he was the only one with a brain.I think Hillary's got it, but anything can happen in 3 years. Wendy Davis? Elizabeth Warren?

Julian Castro for two terms and then his brother Joachin for two more.

Carol's driving along the interstate. She accelerates to 90 mph.Wow, she thinks, I am going fast. After 20 minutes of driving at this speed, Carol no longer thinks it is driving fast.She thinks this speed is just normal.
